Daniella Brodsky is a freelance magazine journalist who lives in New York City.
Brodsky's novel seems like typical chick lit at the outset. Anna Walker is a young, single woman, living in the big city and working for a magazine with a Cruella De Vil clone for a boss. But there are dark undertones driving this tale. The defining moment in Anna's life is the death of her father in a fire when she is eight. Obviously a tragic situation, but for Anna it's even worse: she believes she murdered him. Now in her late twenties, how she lives and her every action and inaction is based on her massive guilt. Two events change the course of her life. She is given a column of her own critiquing the newest hot spots, for which she is woefully underqualified, and one of her two best friends, Ray, with whom she's lived platonically for years, convinces her to get therapy. Brodsky's novel is funny and melancholy as Anna gets her life back on track and succeeds beyond anything she ever imagined. Maria Hatton
